8 Institute of Archaeology, University of Wroclaw, Poland, The NW Bohemian site Bečov I lies on an elevation known as Písečny vrch (Sandy Elevation) built ia of characteristic paleogen quartzite. Regular excavation carried out in the area started in the 1960s and 70s by a team led by J. Fridrich (Archaeology Institute, Czech Academy of Sciences Prague) resulted in discovery of several large sites, one of which, the multi-level (Bečov site I) produced evidence of Neanderthal occupation, among them, numerous lithic artefacts fashioned from Bečov quartzite. Bečov site I was revisited for the technological re-examination of the largest inventory recovered from Layer 7 (Bečov I, A-III-6). The age of the layer is synchronized with OIS 7, which corresponds to the interglacial period at the close of the Middle Pleistocene. Czech geologists frequently referred to it as Postsaale. Some 3000 lithic artefacts were examined for better understanding of the main scheme of blank and retouched tool production. Most artefacts were in local Bečov quartzite which occurs locally in many different variations. The more fine-grained varieties apparently have the best technological properties characterised as they are by generally good cleavage. A much smaller number of artefacts were from a different variety of quartzite referred to as type Skršín, most probably brought to the site at Bečov from a distance of several kilometres. Finally, a just a few pieces were fashioned from porcelanite and quartz, rocks known to occur in the area of the elevation. Raw material of different size were selected for working. Typically, the quartzite had the form of blocks (slabs, irregular polyhedrons) and pebbles were used much less frequently. Perhaps knappers selected blocks because they were more weathered than pebbles and more easy for organising the working process. The inventory from Bečov represents the flake technology; reduction based on cores without developed preparation and was target on obtaining unifacial tools. It appears from analysis that the main object of the knapping process was to obtain heavy flakes, frequently triangular or rectangular in cross-section. We noted that flakes of this type were subsequently worked into side scrapers. Other categories of blanks, much less frequently fashioned into tools, included elongated flakes or blades. Blanks were produced using two main groups of methods. Group I is represented by centripetal uni- or discoidal cores, Group II, by a smaller number of parallel uni- or bidirectional (single or double platform) cores. It appears from studies done so far that selection of blank and tool production strategies was not dictated by properties of the raw material. This is suggested by, on the one hand, the consistent adherence to specific production methods, on the other, by the presence in the region of Písečny vrch elevation of older and younger lithic inventories, produced from the same type of quartzite using entirely different methods (bifacial method, Levallois method). All of which suggests that the artefacts from Layer 7 at Bečov may represent a discrete taxonomic unit, similar in formal terms to the Quina facies of Mousterian industry. It seems that the application of this particular strategy of working the raw material resource may have resulted from deliberate selection. Lecture 12 Mousterian industries in western France : bifacial technique, producing sites and consumed tools. Solène BOURDIN-LAUNAY & Nathalie MOLINES UMR 6566 du CNRS, Laboratoire d'archéologie-archéométrie, Université de Rennes 1, France, Several surface sites shared out in Western France provide lithic industries revealing numerous bifacial tools, they characterize regional Mousterian dating from Upper Pleistocene. These open sites providing abundant lithic artefacts always deal with local raw material disposability (glossy sandstone or flint). This study enter a large problematic of technological analysis about industries within bifacial treatment of blanks is a fundamental characteristic. Remains attest that all the producing system, from acquisition to abandonment, takes place in the site. Numerous tools, including handaxes, enter a reducing process combining resharpening, refiting, and technical status changing. These transformations indicate tools consumption, sign of their use near the site. Recycled artefacts give evidence of a will of expanding consumption cycle. The association of production and using of tools suggests a shared gestion of space during the settlement, between organisation of specifical

9 activities, still unknown, and flaking areas. Technical strategy of producing numerous handaxes needs a more important technological investment towards others tools, but these shaped supports integrate long-term gestion with more important recycling capacities. Glossy sandstone (or quartzite ) exploitation answers here a choice, and can not be considered as a palliative strategy dealing with the flint deficit of large module, specific of this region. The study finds an outward-looking with comparaison possibilities with same facies industries, known form occidental to oriental Europe. These new datas obtained from Western France contribute to the vaste debate about filiations of industries including bifacial component.

The volume and weight of each artefact makes the transportation of collections difficult. In one hand, this situation directly affects the study, mainly when it occurs outside the research centres and universities. On the other hand, this transport increases the deterioration of crucial stigma analysis. In this session we will show how the use of 3D technologies can assist on Virtual Archaeology. 3D Reconstruction may help the study, analysis, interpretation and preservation of artefacts, complementing the traditional archaeological alpha-numeric data and illustrations, with new digital forms of visual registration and virtual manipulation. Here we will present a first application test of these technologies in some Palaeolithic cobbles from Granho-Vale Coelheiro.
